A paper evaluating Affordable Housing Australia looking at the purpose and what input it has for achievement of its goals

Affordable Housing Australia

The CEO of �Affordable Housing Australia� wants to get superannuation funds to invest in the development of affordable housing. He has developed a financial model that makes that investment financially possible.

 

AHA Purpose:

Affordable Housing Australia aims to establish a series of discrete investment funds, offering low risk institutional grade returns to superannuation fund investors. To achieve this end a priority will be on acquiring properties in areas which provide both capital security and growth prospects. It is recognised this platform is essential to achieve a sustainable housing operation with which to significantly improve the supply of affordable rental housing. Finance will be provided to established and proven Not for Profit housing managers to develop and manage a national portfolio of affordable rental medium density housing in inner and middle ring suburban locations in Australian capital cities for a fixed term of ten years.
Our investment model is built upon:
�Sustainable triple bottom line principles.
�Secure income from Federal and State Government employed tenants.
�Stable long term investments with a low risk and moderate returns.
�Indexed income cash flow from the date of investment provides a constant real income yield.
�Capital appreciation is achieved without the need for market price growth.
�Residential investment without the issues of management nor large entry costs.
�The potential to reduce acquisition costs. This factor raises the capital return from a residential investment from the outset of the investment.
�Inner and middle ring suburban locations to maximise demand and growth opportunities.
�Favourable residential market timing for acquisition opportunities.
�Strong corporate governance by the fund manager.
�Property management by established service orientated housing managers.
�Low debt requirement reduces interest rate movement and financing risk.
�Highly rated environmentally sustainable designed properties �future proofs� the portfolio against increased obsolescence, energy and utilities cost increases and the potential cost of retro-fitting requirements to comply with future planning requirements.
